Orange County · Private by design
A coastal experience shaped around the people, not a package.
YANA is being developed for couples and intimate occasions that call for privacy, thoughtful timing and photographs that never take over the moment.

The idea
Begin with what the time should feel like.
A private coastal experience is most meaningful when the setting supports the occasion instead of competing with it. YANA begins with the reason for gathering: a quiet date, an anniversary, a proposal, a portrait session or a personal milestone.
The concept brings timing, light, pace and photography into one conversation. It is intentionally different from self-drive rental, party-boat and one-size-fits-all charter formats.
The occasions
For two, or for the few people at the center of the story.
The initial creative direction is centered on private moments rather than large groups. Every future request would be considered individually, with guest capacity and operating details published only after the relevant approvals are complete.
- Private sunset dates and anniversaries
- Discreet proposal planning concepts
- Editorial couple and engagement photography
- Small personal occasions by request
The coast
Orange County is the atmosphere; the exact setting must be earned.
Newport Beach and Dana Point are the two coastal areas being studied for the concept. No departure point, route or live availability is promised today. Those details depend on vessel documentation, qualified operations, insurance and harbor authorization.
That distinction matters: an elegant plan should also be a truthful one. Private launch inquiries help shape the experience while the operating model is completed.
Photography
A memory should still feel like the day itself.
Yana Chumachenko is the photographic eye behind the concept. Her public portfolio describes more than a decade behind the camera and a background informed by filmmaking. The intended approach is observant, lightly directed and guided by natural movement.
Photography may eventually be integrated into selected experiences or approached as its own editorial session. Exact deliverables, availability and usage terms will be shared only when approved.
